Description
A show-stopping, elegant beef tenderloin roast filled with a savory breadcrumb and herb stuffing, perfect for a luxurious holiday main course.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 lb beef tenderloin roast, center cut
- 2 cups breadcrumbs, preferably panko
- 1 large onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 1/2 cups fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim excess fat from the tenderloin. Cut a pocket into the roast using a sharp knife, making sure not to cut all the way through.
- Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a portion of the melted butter until soft and translucent.
- In a bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic mixture with the panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and the remaining melted butter. Mix well to create the stuffing.
- Stuff the tenderloin pocket evenly with the prepared breadcrumb mixture. Secure the roast with kitchen twine at regular intervals to hold the stuffing in place.
- Roast the stuffed tenderloin in the preheated oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before you slice and serve it.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly minced garlic instead of pre-minced.
- Use Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt for seasoning the beef.
- Securing the roast with twine helps the stuffing remain inside and promotes even cooking.
